UTV Media's network of stations have a new sound thanks to Music 4 in London. The new groupwide package is now airing on Signal, Signal 107, The Pulse, 96.4 The Wave, Radio Wave, Tower FM, Wire FM, Wish FM and Peak FM. The jingle package follows the recent appointment of David Dunne as Group Music Scheduler and Terry Underhill joining as Group Programme Director last Autumn.

UTV's Calum Macaulay, Director of Local Radio, said: "The sound of our stations has been lifted to a new level today and we believe that our listeners will love the new, fresh sound on our stations. Terry and the senior programming team here have delivered an exciting new jingle package that will help us to continue to grow our audience."

Sandy Beech, Managing Director of Music 4, said: "We were thrilled to have been commissioned to produce the new sound for the UTV local radio stations. The project went without a hitch and we are extremely pleased with the results."

We're always very proud of the long term relationships we build with our client stations and U105 in Northern Ireland is no exception. U105 ordered their first set of jingles from Music 4 back in November 2005. They have stood the test of time and remain on air alongside a 'new' package of cuts just delivered.

The recent additions include a full re-sing of the Wave 105 package from January 2010 plus re-sings of a number of jingles for the stations 'Golden Years' adapted from our fabulous Capital Gold package (originally created in May 2002!).

We always try our best to create jingles and logos that stand the test of time and we think U105 has chosen some excellent material from our back catalogue. We have worked hard with Maurice and the team at U105 to ensure they fit the stations output perfectly.

Music 4 is starting 2010 with a bang thanks to a number of new music commissions including the latest themes for The Chris Moyles Show on BBC Radio 1. Recorded at our biggest ever session at Abbey Road Studio 1 with a full orchestra and then mixed and mastered here at Music 4 Studios, this is one BIG sounding package!

Also coming soon... new jingles for BBC London 94.9 and new packages for Wave 105 and Spin Southwest (Ireland).

Pop sensation James Morrison recently spent the day at Music 4 Studios to undertake interviews and promote his forthcoming new single “Get To You” and his forthcoming Deluxe Version of his album “Songs For You, Truths For Me”. Both are due for release on November 16th. In addition to a number of ISDN interviews, James was visited by presenters from some of the UK's biggest and best radio stations including Rich and Kat from Capital FM, Wave 105 and many more. This was James’ 4th visit to Music 4 Studios, soon we’ll be setting up his own desk!

Ronan Keating also had a return visit for his ISDN and face-to-face interviews to promote his forthcoming album “Winter Songs” and single “Stay”, which are also both due for release on November 16th. This is Ronan’s sixth studio album and his first Christmas album. We wish him all the best of luck for the Christmas No1 spot!

Pop princess and X Factor judge Cheryl Cole spent today at Music 4 Studios to undertake interviews and promote her forthcoming new single Fight For This Love" and her forthcoming album Three Words'. In addition to a number of ISDN (down the line) interviews, Cheryl was visited by presenters from some of the UK's biggest and best radio stations including Rich and Kat from Capital FM & The Big Top 40 along with presenters from stations including Real Radio, Wave 105, Galaxy, Cool FM and many more.

This was a return visit to Music 4 Studios for Cheryl and as always she was absolutely lovely and everyone really enjoyed her company.

It was also great to welcome so many key radio presenters to the glitz and glamour of the West End. Many are still propping up the bar at the local pub!

Just under 10 years ago, the team behind Music 4 created the launch jingle package for Wave 105. We are delighted that our long standing relationship with Wave 105 continues into 2009. Wave's latest set of Music 4 imaging is made up of a number cuts from our back catalogue that have been adapted with new vocals to incorporate Wave 105's original and well known logo plus updated remixes of their current news, travel and weather cuts originally created by us in back in 2004.

We think Tim and the team at Wave picked a fantastic selection of cuts from our extensive back catalogue and this project is a perfect example of how we can adapt cuts originally created for other stations to create a fresh sounding package for one of our longest standing clients. The decision to evolve rather than re-invent their news/travel and weather cuts is also a perfect choice for a station that is performing extremely well in it's competitive market along the south coast.

Wave is one of the UK's most consistent sounding stations and this has been reflected in their most recent RAJAR listening figures which were excellent.
